I totally forgot you can run the old TFs in Ouro!

I have forgotten what the most efficient way to gaining merits were. Last I recall I used to do ITF speed runs at least once a day but can't remember past that. Do you have any mission arcs that you run that offer a nice time vs reward ratio?

I find it entitled that people are complaining that the homecoming team isn't help other teams set up their servers.

Bump for those asking for builds and what not. This is a treasure trove of builds.

Yeah for reals, guess the new scrapper forums has just become the build request hotline.

That would be REALLY nice

To my knowledge no. Once they are unlocked they are unlocked. BRB becoming evil

What's a Brute?

I don't remember that power, how do you get it? It is from the villain side of epic pools. You can run the Patron arc to switch over from having Body Mastery to having Energy Mastery. The only difference I remember is that it changes Conserve Power for Superior Conditioning. It increases your max endurance but would allow for you to slot another Performance Shifter with +end, or more depending on how many slots you put there. Do you need to stay a villian in order to keep energy mastery? That would be pretty sweet to have three PS procs...

I slot my attacks when I get slots and then respec and sell the enhancements

I'm at 50 now with 33.5 defense all around and almost no set bonuses, and it already rocks simply by popping some purple inspirations, when it's finished it'll destroy shit. But I'm going to have to dramatically change this. I didn't realize how much faster it is to unlock Incarante abilities. I'm already at the second tier Alpha Slot and I haven't played all that much since I hit 50. If I simply add the top tier Agility Alpha ability to the build FUBARczar came up with(which I really, really like), I'm all of a sudden swimming in recovery, well above the soft cap, and have 18% more global recharge than I need to get perma-hasten. So that will open up some slots for me to chase other goals, though I recognize Incarnate content will need a higher defense number to reach the soft cap there. But still, this is going much faster than I anticipated. Yeah with Incarnent content I usually had 50% def to account for the higher difficulty but it was nice because I could go after more regen/recov/res while keeping perma hasten and soul drain.

I don't remember that power, how do you get it?

Willpower is the set and forget secondary and with a little investment into some IOs can be near unkillable in PvE. Dark Armor is a a nice set that offers a little everything, heal, res, aoe damage, but it's an endurance hog and usually requires some kind of endurance modification. Pairing pretty much anything with WP is pretty nice, usually you'll see Katana/Broadsword for the +def, spines is another one as it adds a ton of AoE to the mix, dark is nice because it adds a heal and endurance recovery. I can't speak for a lot of the newer powersets as I haven't any experience with them.

I can't speak toward StJ because I have zero experience with it but WP benefits from def and rez and you've got tons. This will likely be a very survivable character. Outside of adding super expensive very rare IOs this build looks good!

Post up a build and we'll critique it.

Yeah that entitled attitude will get you little to no help here.

start your own server and call it a day. That's the only way to guarantee you'll keep CoH forever.

Press F to show respect for the fallen Galaxy City.

This build looks amazing, so much AoE dmg between LR and SC.

Solid post

Can you repost the data link, I cannot for the life of me get this build to import.

That is incredible work and I applaud him doing it, but I can't think of anything more useless and it goes exactly to what I've always struggled with when it came to CoH's "tension" between casual and hard core players. Balancing always seems to be about what the twinked out power players with unlimited time and budget can possibly obtain. That's why things like Tar Patch are up less than half the time even ED-max slotted with SOs at lvl 50. There's no point in calling DM or Fire the winner if they are only a winner when all the power cycles pull the hardest hitting attack chain far outside the range of 98% of the player base. I don't blame the previous dev team or the current folks. In a sense this problem isn't solvable. I'm merely lobbying for things to be bent more towards that end of the base. I'm perfectly aware that doing that might mean that under just the right set of 1 billion IOs a Regen scrapper might again be immortal. I don't care, and like "farming" I really don't understand why anyone would care. Besides, think about it. If there really is some hero who has worked thousands of hours and honed their knowledge of the game to such an extent to become as powerful as Statesman, maybe it is OK that they are as powerful as Statesman. We are supposed to be their successors after all, right? Tension, sorry but this game unlike others has little tension between the high end user and the ones that just run SO's. Generally if you are coming to the forums you are looking for that type of information. Sorry I take offense to your post; I know this forum some of us go way back on the scrapper forums to the old days if you come and ask for general advice we give it if you ask high end questions we give it and if I come off like an arse so be it but every game there is always a subset that will maximize everything. The scrapper forum has always been a place for this type of discussion if you do not like it that is on you but do not us. Yeah if you want general advice we'll give it to you but the Scrapper forumite is usually the type of individual who min/maxes the crap out of their character.

Highest damage output I've ever seen was an Ill/Rad troller. Could solo GMs

Mother of god why????
